    How do you get started?

    I've always been interested in acting but don't know where to start. I'm looking for acting classes in my area. Where do you even start? Could get some help on the best course of action. I'm from the Nebraska, could get some feed back on some help.

    Callback advice for your fellow actors!

    Actors! What advice do you have for your peers regarding callbacks? One general piece of advice I've heard over the years is that you should go in and not change anything that you did unless instructed to do so, but are there any other things that you do to...

    Dear All Seeing /Pol/, lowly geezer swamp pede here. In violation of your commands, but not the chain of command, I am asking for your consideration of these words. Maybe in here are some of the Soro's Droids you seek? From the public record... Thank you,

    Experience, Colleges, and Possibilities

    Hey so I don't go to an acting school but I'm in my school's drama club and class, do dance, sing, etc. I've been on Backstage for a year or two but I don't live in California or New York so there aren't that many casting calls in my area....

    Compensation for roles

    Forgive my naivety, I'm new to all of this... But when a role says it "pays $68/8 hours" does that mean you work for 8 hours and get paid $68.00? That's what it sounds like.

    Our last casting experience

    File this under “shameless plug” perhaps, but here at OC Actors we are seeing a trend in the submissions we’ve received for a movie we are producing. The trend is poorly lit, awful-sounding and over-crowded submission reels. Holy cow! Some of them are...

    Question about immigration

    I was wondering if there was anyone around who had any experience living in another country as an actor moved to the states to pursue it full time. I wanted to know the steps you took to get your entertainers visa and how long were you working in your home...

    How To Fulfill my Passion

    If you had told me about 7 years ago that I would love to act, I'd laugh at you. I'd done a couple of plays when I was younger (ensemble roles, nothing major) and figured that the writing side was more my thing. But then, I got the opportunity to audition for...

    What skills are listed on your acting resume?

    Saw this on Reddit and thought it would be cool to ask here too. What skills do you currently have listed on your acting resume? I have: Basic Improv, Basic Guitar, Singing (Baritone), Dancing (Hip Hop/Urban), and Martial Arts (Muay Thai). What do you have...

    Links instead of attachments for Agents?

    I was wondering if it's polite to send a link to my Backstage profile instead of adding attachments when submitting to Talent Agencies. I feel like Backstage has such a convenient format and it's just so well composed. It would also save me tons of time...

    Auditioning for Friends

    I recently became a member at a theatre and have my first audition for one of their shows approaching. I am not sure how to enter/slate/introduce myself because they all know me on a fairly personal level. Should I stick to a professional slate or be more of...

    Looking for an all-encompassing term

    If you do a variety of entertainment work, such as acting, voiceovers, music, etc, and wanted an umbrella term for these on your general CV (not acting/whatever résumé) what would you use? Media artist? Entertainer?

    Stage Names

    My last name is Threadgill, but when submitting for roles I go under the name Gill. It's a personal preference. However, now that I'm considering moving to LA I looked at IMBD and I see there are already several actors going by my "stage name." Is that going...
